Hoffman gave $750,000 to American Engagement Technologies (AET) who then injected $100,000 towards New Knowledge, a cybersecurity firm which created thousands of fake Russian bots to follow Moore.

The Democrats ran a crooked Twitter campaign to boost Alabama Democratic Sen. Doug Jones in the October 2017 special election.

Operatives from the Democrat party created thousands of fake Twitter accounts acting as Russian bots and connected them to Jones's Republican contender, Roy Moore, to launch the 'Russian interference' narrative.

Last week, Facebook suspended the account of researcher Jonathon Morgan who was behad the fraudulent Democratic campaign to disinformation campaign against Alabama Republican candidate Sen. Doug Jones in October 2017.

The CEO of New Knowledge, a social media research firm which published a major report on alleged Russian interference in the 2016 elections, told The Washington Post his Facebook account had been suspended.

Facebook said in a statement it had removed "five accounts run by multiple individuals for engaging in coordinated inauthentic behavior" and is investigating them.

"We've removed thousands of Pages, Groups and accounts for this kind of behavior, as well as accounts that were violating our policies on spam and coordinated inauthentic behavior during the Alabama special election last year," Facebook said.
